The Church/Cult of Insanism (No Flaming Allowed!)

*sigh* It's hypocritical because we are not allowed to question your beliefs, but you find ways to mock us. It's insulting because you make all religious people look stupid/clueless (weather intentional or not, it does not matter). It's stupid because you made assumptions about religion and are mocking them, you are not open minded enough to let someone truly explain their point of view, without being biased. If your intentions were good, then I apologize, but still request that this gets locked; it is still insulting.
Edit: And I look forward to a good debate...

This is a very good argument. Sadly, not a bit of it is relevant to this thread. We have done absolutely nothing in this thread besides come up with a new religion. I've no idea where you came up with all that crap.

Alright, I think I've got the Creeds of Insanism down:
I. The Insanist shall always hold sloths in high reverence, and heed any teachings they offer.
II. The Insanist shall always strive for Perfect Insanity.
III. The Insanist shall take all the teachings of Insanism, and do his best to apply them to his life.
IV. The Insanist shall do his best to spread word of Insanism, for we wish to bring enlightenment to others as much as we seek enlightenment for ourselves.
V. The Insanist shall never use the name of the Shtols in vain. If an Insanist is to swear, he is to use the unholy name of the Slief.
VI. The Insanist shall always, when in doubt, consult his Inner Folivora.
Thanks for the compliment. Here's an easy example. Also, you support FSM which is obviously made to mock...

Um... exactly where the hell do you see can insult in there?

We have an equal probability to be correct as any other religion, if you take an objective/unbiased approach.
Yes, we are mocking religion in some ways, but not in a completely disrespectful way, for example, we are in no way making any mention of religious wars, the intolerance that is often perpetrated by certain religious leaders, or fundamentalism.
In some ways (the 8-step thing, the lack of a true "diety" and the perfect insanity and its similarity to nirvana) we are closer to mocking buddhism than anything, even though buddhism is, in actuality, one of the religions that I respect the most.
Also, if you can not realize that from an outsider's perspective, all religions have aspects that are somewhat ridiculous, than you cannot truly have faith, because in order to truly believe something, (in my opinion) you must realize what the objections to it are, and make peace with them.
As the sloths say. I really couldn't have put it better myself.

Thank you for being so honest, and polite. But let me ask you this: To claim that, for example, that Einstein's relativity is wrong, you must spent many years studying physics, then relativity, then you are allowed to claim it wrong, correct? Then why can you just label religion as wrong just because of actions of a misguided few?
You have not truly given my religion, for example, the careful studying and examinations that could entitle you to claim it wrong. And even then, you must voice your claims in a civil, and polite way, that is not based on blindly mocking, shrouding in lies and subsequently claiming immunity because of your "rights".
Edit: Actually, I see A LOT of the so called ludicrous points. Just today I was debating evolution with some of my friends (and a teacher), I was trying to prove that it was correct. Believe me, you have not suffered as much as me because of the close mindedness of
some
religious people..

Insanism is extremely stupid.
I find more sense in this argument than in ASHelmy's.

I think you mock me --> I ask you to stop --> You claim that you weren't mocking --> I prove that you are --> You confirm that you are mocking me --> I ask you to stop, And I am not making sense? Also, I am putting a lot of thought into these posts, least you could do is do the same.

We make nice new thread --> You come in and tell us we're stupid --> We prove you wrong --> We does it again.
Also, I'm far too lethargic to put any actual thought in these posts.
As for me mocking you, I am doing that now, as you've asked for it by intruding in our thread unprovoked.

But, I was provoked. You mocked me and my beliefs first, you even admitted mocking me (before I came).....

I still fail to see an instance of me mocking your beliefs. I made one mocking statement to religion in general, not your beliefs in particular, and it wasn't even that insulting. I certainly did nothing that was "hypocritical, or downright stupid".

But I believe in religion, if you mock religion, then you also mock me, since my beliefs are part of religion, and how can something be mocking and not insulting?. Maybe I was too harsh back then, but my anger stems from your mockery....

My mockery stems from your harshness. This whole mess could've been avoided if you hadn't been so rash to judge.
Also, I was under the impression that 'mocking' was a lesser form of insulting.

Ahahahaha.
Assuming you're Christian, "hate the sin, not the sinner" comes to mind here.
